NVIDIA's current flagship GPU is the GT200. It is used on the GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 280. Only recently NVIDIA has added a third card design to that lineup. The GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 still uses the GeForce GTX 260 naming, but comes with an increased shader count of 216 shaders. Leadtek has decided to call their product the GeForce GTX 260 Extreme Plus. The Extreme probably stands for the 216 shaders, while the Plus stands for an overclock out of the box. As we mentioned in our first GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 article, we find NVIDIA's naming scheme a bit confusing. Something like GeForce GTX 270 would have made more sense to facilitate the buying process. - techPowerUp
